I moved this, here is the link: http://www3.24h.com.vn/news.php?menu=214&news=70506 What can I do? It appears to be an over seas publication. Nov 23 05 08:49 am Link Are they an actual publication or a web publication? Are they hosted here in the USA? If not what country? If they're not a physical publication and they're in another country, your best bet is to go after them through their web host. HOPEFULLY someone will speak english AND understand international copyright. If they're hosted in the US, then the web host most likely will pull down their site quickly, though you may have to have a lawyer write them a letter. If they're a physical publication, well then a lawyer may be in order because international or not a lawsuit is in order. Nov 23 05 08:53 am Link The host is in France. Nov 23 05 08:57 am Link They even put their copyright logo on the images urrrg! Nov 23 05 08:59 am Link I don't know what language that might be. Does the ending "VN" means something to someone? If it is based in France than european laws will appear here. Not THAT different from US copyrights... Nov 23 05 08:59 am Link Its asian. Maybe Vietnamese Nov 23 05 09:01 am Link Jwill266 wrote: You should be in luck. The French surrender easily! Nov 23 05 09:02 am Link Jwill266 wrote: Most likely in Vietnam. "vn" is is the Vietnam country domain code, and the language is Vietnamese.

Nov 23 05 09:04 am Link Jwill266 wrote: Yeah I saw that...ugh...man that sucks Nov 23 05 09:05 am Link You know, I would have let them use the images of Valerie Tai free if only they had asked, since its promotional for her and I, but what pisses me off is they stole them rather than ask and credit is not given where credit is due. Nov 23 05 10:13 am Link It's going to be very hard to push a vietnamese company. My firm has attempted to sue a vietnamese isp to nix the account of a DoS attacker in the past, and were met with dead ears. China, Vietnam, Russia, Latvia, etc. will usually not care about foreign laws, and trying to get them to comply is very hard.

At least you know they liked them. Nov 23 05 11:08 am Link Marvin Dockery wrote: Thats it, they were not large format and they took the copyright off. The host is in France there has to be something I can do. From what I can tell, I can not read it but can get the just of it, they copied information from one of Val's ports because they got the birth date and other info right. Nov 23 05 12:36 pm Link I suggest finding someone who can interpret that language. For all you know it could be something very good for you and her. It could lead to overseas modeling jobs for her, perhaps. Her name is mentioned in english, I did not see yours. But I am sure those who see her name will look her up on google, which will lead back to you. She is a beautiful and very bright young lady. You are lucky to have worked with her  Nov 23 05 12:38 pm Link Jwill266 wrote: This is why I am implimenting a clear but visible watermark on all my images that are to be used on the web by me and by the models I shoot. It is dead center on the image but does not distract the eye at all really. This would get rid of the possibility of removing the copyright info by cropping the photograph. They would have to spend hours on a single image to remove the watermark and make the photograph look right. I don`t think anyone would think that would be worth while.

I used to drag her out every couple days and shoot her and try and give her the expierence she needs. Nov 23 05 12:45 pm Link Here you go, because its a country code, typical Domain lookup dont tend to work so gota search it by IP address and heres the information. 210.245.22.27 APnic.net is likely the webhost, use their abuse link, or contact them directly shortly after sending an email in english to a webmanager email on the main site. Nov 23 05 01:36 pm Link I had a coworker help me translate a portion of this and its a modeling profile, something along the lines of "although she just turned 16 all of her acomplishments so far can make a lot of people think that she was born at the same time as paris hilton and Linsay Lohan." literal translation - needs interpretation "she started to walk the runway just after she turned 15, although she looks young she has an great height at 1.72m and a proportionate figure at 86-61-91 cm ....." Nov 23 05 01:46 pm Link Charcoal Artist wrote: Thank you all! I am registering her domain, per anothers advice to Val and I had not thought of that, before someone steals that too. So thank you who ever you are. Nov 23 05 03:06 pm Link Karl Blessing wrote: APNIC is the TLD (top level domain) for most over seas IP addresses. Re-do the search at whois.apnic.net and you will find the company that owns the ip. Nov 23 05 04:07 pm Link It's in Vietnamese. I posted what it said in the other thread and I'll repost it here. Mind you, I can only speak Vietnamese. I'm not good at reading. Valerie Tai -- A Beautiful Model At Age 16 Only at the age of 16, Valerie has accomplished much, making people believe that everything she has was given to her at birth, similar to those like Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan. When she first stepped foot on the catwalk at the age of 15, she was very mature and attractive; standing at the height of 1.72 with a body measurement of 86-61-91 and cannot be stopped on the world of the internet. (not so sure what the last part says) Her lineage contains France and [something, I think it's Italy] (French and [something, I'm not sure, I think it's Italian] blood). Her hair are like those of Flamenco and her eyes are like those of Italian girls. She is liked by many. Valerie Tai...(can't translate the rest). Blah, that took so long. I'm not sure if it's all correct, but it's relatively close to what it says. I also had help. It sounds like one of those celebrity profile site.

So the website is hosted on the server 210.245.22.27 and the authoritative name server for it is slv2.24h.com.vn HOWEVER www.24h.com.vn is hosted at 203.162.163.55 so the web site where the photos are is owned by someone on APNIC so when I look it up on APNIC.net: inetnum: 203.162.0.0 - 203.162.255.255 netname: VNPT-VNNIC-VN country: VN descr: Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications (VNPT) descr: 23 Phan Chu Trinh st., Hanoi capital, Vietnam admin-c: NXC1-AP tech-c: KNH1-AP status: ALLOCATED PORTABLE changed: [email protected] 20041011 mnt-by: MAINT-VN-VNNIC mnt-lower: MAINT-VN-VNPT source: APNIC person: Nguyen Xuan Cuong nic-hdl: NXC1-AP e-mail: [email protected] address: Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications (VNPT) address: 18 Nguyen Du street, Hanoi capital, Vietnam phone: +84-4-9430427 fax-no: +84-4-8226861 country: VN changed: [email protected] 20040527 mnt-by: VNPT source: APNIC person: Khanh Nguyen Hien address: Vietnam Datacommunications Company (VDC) address: 258 Ba Trieu street, Hanoi capital, Vietnam country: VN phone: +84-4-8212680 fax-no: +84-4-9760397 e-mail: [email protected] nic-hdl: KNH1-AP remarks: Contact: [email protected] mnt-by: VNPT changed: [email protected] 20020604 source: APNIC So the web site is hosted and run off a server in Vietnam All information for the domain points back to the same people in Vietnam and short of contacting the state department, advising them of the copyright violation, and getting a lawyer to keep hounding them until something is done about it, you have little recourse. Of course making a federal case out of it isn't always a bad thing...but you may just be on the short end of the stick this time. Nov 23 05 07:04 pm Link "So the web site is hosted and run off a server in Vietnam" proof that charlie does surf...surfs the web...*inhales for hint of napalm in the air* Nov 23 05 07:18 pm Link You people are all great. I love MM because of that. This site has so many wonderful people on it, with the exception of a few idiots, but you know what they say. There is always one or two bad apples in the bunch we just have to keep those bad ones out so they can not spoil the whole. Thanks all you good people, Jim Williams Nov 23 05 09:08 pm Link just dont plan on going to vietnam to try to confront them, you might accidently run into this guy.... scary.  http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/asiapcf/1 … cnn_latest Nov 23 05 11:02 pm Link It was really great to read this thread.. and actually see us working together to help one of our own in need instead of tearing each other down. WAY TO GO MM!!! Nov 24 05 10:00 am Link |
